Summer is my favorite time of year! The days are longer, the nights are warm, and it's totally acceptable to eat ice cream as often as you like. Whether you're lounging at the beach, chilling by a pool, barbecuing in the sun, or cruising around town, there's nothing like a perfect summer sound ...

Summer is my favorite time of year! The days are longer, the nights are warm, and it's totally acceptable to eat ice cream as often as you like. Whether you're lounging at the beach, chilling by a pool, barbecuing in the sun, or cruising around town, there's nothing like a perfect summer soundtrack.

I did a quick poll of the birdettes for their favorite summer tunes and compiled them (along with some of my personal favorites) into a playlist. We hope you use it wisely...aka while you're drinking pina coladas and flirting with summer babes.

Spring has finally sprung. Buds are blooming, layers are being shed, and it feels like we're all slowly waking up from that nightmare of a winter. Beck's new album Morning Phase seems to mirror that transition: dreamy, a bit somber (ugh, all that residual winter angst!), but sweetened with ...

Spring has finally sprung. Buds are blooming, layers are being shed, and it feels like we're all slowly waking up from that nightmare of a winter. Beck's new album Morning Phase seems to mirror that transition: dreamy, a bit somber (ugh, all that residual winter angst!), but sweetened with hopeful melodies. We're digging it. You might, too. Listen along below.

Everyone seems to be buzzing about Angel Olsen lately, and after listening to her newest album, Burn Your Fire For No Witness, I caught myself saying "ahhh, I get it." Her music is this awesome mishmash of sullen folk mixed with 90's grunge that somehow comes across as both fresh and familiar. Also, ...

Everyone seems to be buzzing about Angel Olsen lately, and after listening to her newest album, Burn Your Fire For No Witness, I caught myself saying "ahhh, I get it." Her music is this awesome mishmash of sullen folk mixed with 90's grunge that somehow comes across as both fresh and familiar. Also, I feel like she channels Roy Orbison here and there which is definitely an A+ in my book. But enough of me rambling about it. Listen below and see for yourself.

Rainy days in Brooklyn take me back to the few times I've had the chance to cross the pond and galavant around the streets of London.

Rainy days in Brooklyn take me back to the few times I've had the chance to cross the pond and galavant around the streets of London. All that gloominess can feel dreamy and the dreariness seem sweet with the right soundtrack. London duo Still Corners, in my humble opinion, encompass all those sentiments perfectly with their soothing dream-pop vibes. Check out their album, Strange Pleasures, below. And you can go ahead and blame me if you end up curling up for a peaceful snooze afterward.

There's something about stormy weather that makes me want to curl up in my bed, sip some tea, and listen to Neil Young. Seeing as there's no bed or tea at the store, I'm happy to settle for just the listening to Neil part.You can listen along with us here:Also, can we all just agree right now that N ...

There's something about stormy weather that makes me want to curl up in my bed, sip some tea, and listen to Neil Young. Seeing as there's no bed or tea at the store, I'm happy to settle for just the listening to Neil part.

You can listen along with us here:

Also, can we all just agree right now that Neil Young has some wicked style? I really want to steal this jacket.

Every morning when the birds flutter in to work, we decide on one thing: what should we listen to? The Thursday crew was indisputably united in today's decision. We wanted a mix of rock, soul, and pop from the 50's through 70's. The Forrest Gump soundtrack was mentioned, and a resounding "YES!" fill ...

Every morning when the birds flutter in to work, we decide on one thing: what should we listen to? The Thursday crew was indisputably united in today's decision. We wanted a mix of rock, soul, and pop from the 50's through 70's. The Forrest Gump soundtrack was mentioned, and a resounding "YES!" filled the air.

Go ahead, braid some flowers in your hair and move and groove to the songs that shaped the lives of a couple of outsiders.

In addition to our well documented love of sandwiches and stacking rings, lipstick and pastries, we're awfully keen on music. We inaugurate Bird Call (the sounds of Catbird) with Part 1 of Leigh's wedding mix. xx coco LB/P Wedding from catbirdnyc on 8tracks.1. All I Want - Joni Mitche ...
